navigating sub directories with apache

ixion · 09-15-2003, 07:21 AM

I have a Directive setup in the httpd.conf file for a directory under 'htdocs' I would like to share OpenSource files from my web server... I can navigate to the root directory specified "/apache/htdocs/files/", but when I click on a sub folder underneath 'files' in my web browser it hangs. The user that starts Apache has full privileges on this directorie and subdirectories. Here is my Directive from the httpd.conf:

Code:

<Directory "/apache/htdocs/files/">

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

    AllowOverride None

    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all

</Directory>

Is there a flaw in this?

Are there a lot of files in that directory ?

there are no files yet, just a few subdirectories...

ah.. the hostname of my server is the same as some other server on the internet.... now, how do I keep my clients from looking for the internet host whenever I click on a directory on my web server? I don't use DNS or DynDNS.. I connect to my server through IP Address: Port.... Is there some sort of Apache setting to keep this from happening?

Fixed it... after locking things down I made my server public on http/https ports... navigating files through HTTPS was what was slowing things down... works like a champ, now...
